Description

Scream Writing: A Comprehensive Guide to Writing the Horror Screenplay by Zack Long explores the fundamental elements that make horror films so effective. By examining the evolutionary roots, psychological underpinnings and linguistic patterns of the genre, author Zack Long reveals how these factors contribute to our fear response. This guide breaks down the horror screenplay into its constituent parts, including plots, settings and monsters, to provide a deeper understanding of what makes them terrifying. Long also delves into the cognitive effects of fear, disgust and anxiety on audiences, helping writers craft more effective tales of terror. With this knowledge, you'll learn how to use abjection, biology and psychoanalysis to create realistic and frightening monsters, and how to balance fear, disgust, anxiety, shock and tension to produce a lasting impact on your audience.
